The ramblings of a Creative Crone! I consider myself to be the Grandma Moses of the Fiber Arts World as I came to the art late in life. My blog will consist of my art; art of others; an occasional book review because when not creating, I am reading; perhaps an enlightening discussion on a favorite quote...and positive discussions of politics/world affairs only!

Projects Are Us

I had such a great time at the quilt show! I got involved in the Auction and was lucky enough to purchase a couple of beauties!

A mini Quilt by my friend Heather 8"x 11"

A mini by a guild member I have not met 11" x 13"

I also have gotten interested in a new (to me) technique...working with wool applique so I bought some fabric, thread and needles at the show. I am interested in designing my own patterns, but am going to need a little tutorial instruction in how to do the appliqueing!

My wools and thread...aren't these great colors?

A couple of other projects I have in the works are:

My "Shades of Gray" charm blocks

I want to create a quilt with the 56 five-inch Charm blocks which I rec'd this week. The large fabric they are all resting on was my choice. This should be a real fun project!

Fabrics for October Creative Crone challenge

And Wendy of studioQ has given my fiber arts group a really interesting challenge for October. And I am eager to get busy with it!

I also need to get back to my "Unusual Lone Star" by Karen Stone which I am making for our bed. I had put it aside to complete my quilts for the show...and now that it is over, time to get back to it!! The link will take you to a google site with lots of pictures of Karen's work. Her website is "under construction" right now but will be worth checking into when finished.
